His reaction made her smile so widely and giggle.
"It's alright..." She did wonder how he could smile without hurting himself, though. "I just couldn't help it. That bruise needed a kiss." Again she giggled, her face just as red as his was. It all made her feel like she was a teen again. "But do you want to go get some ice? Or rest somewhere?" It was officially her turn to care about him.

"I'm fine...been through much worse actually..." he admitted as he stood with a sigh. "I"ll be ok..." He tried to give her his most convincing smile. By then Enty came trotting up, out of breath. It seemed to be that they had left him in the dust. When he saw Richards face, he panicked.
"Entor rrsu no mai tan?!" He squeaked frantically. Richard smiled and rustled his fur.
"I'm fine...I'll explain later ok?" He reassured holding a hand out to Lorelee. "What next M'lady?" He asked with a goofy grin as he rubbed his sore face a bit.

That he said he had been through worse troubled her greatly...
Lorelee took his hand with both of hers once she was on her feet.
"We're going to the hotel so we can get you some ice and a place to sit. You poor thing..." She was biting her bottom lip from stress, just looking at him.

Richard gave her a sincere smile. "I'm really ok... I just didn't want that creep to lay one hand on you..." He admitted with a shrug. "Keeping you safe is worth more than a billion bloody noeses...." He smiled charmingly, squeezing her hand gently.

"More than a billion black eyes and bruises?" she asked with slight amusement. "Let's at least sit. You're still bleeding here and there..." Gently she pulled him to the side of the fountain where they could maybe talk for a bit. Richard was such a kind man, but Lorelee wanted to know more about him before giving in to his charm.

Richard gave in willingly, smiling still as he took a seat near her. He realized that his head must have taken a bigger blow than he orignally thought, for he found blod when he wiped his brow. "Ah, it's but a minor scratch..." he reassured her.
Enty said nothing, knowing the relationships between humans were complicated and full of emotions as well as hormones. If anything, watching the two could be interesting and educational...
((haha, lol I almost put "Tis only a flesh wound!" >w< god love monty python...><))

Once again, Lorelee dipped her hat into the fountain. "Here..." Regardless of her nervousness, she gently took his chin and turned his face to her. There was nothing to really say as she dabbed with her then little mess of a hat. What did she care of it? It was helping Richard, who was proving to be either a complete fantasy or completely insane.

Richard let her tend to his injuries with a soft smile playing on his lips as he studied her features. There was so much about her that reminded him on Rose...but he shouldn't think of such things. It made him feel as if he wasn't being fair to her, if he thought of Rose while with her. As he thought of his past wife, his gaze seemed to become distant as his thoughts drifted away. Finally, out of nowhere, he spoke. "Have you ever been in love?" He asked frankly, not even realizing he had asked this out loud.

It was a bit of a shocking questing. Had she? A part of her said not to encourage the conversation, but what did she have to lose? Nothing. She honestly had nothing.
"With dreams", she responded carefully.

Richard's attention drew back to her eyes as he nodded. "Heh...I used to have those..." He joked, shaking his head. "But their long gone..." He noted sadly. "If I'm not getting too personal...what are some of these dreams?" he asked, not wanting to offend her.

It didn't offend her at all, really.
"Well... To have a home. A nice apartment, or a house. To have a nice job where I'm happy and comfortable. And..." The last part was a bit embarrassing. "To find someone who really cares about me." Love, in her mind, was something far too grand to ask for, yet she carefully tacked on: "Maybe even loves me."

Richard smiled, amazed. after a short silence, he spoke. "You're something you know that?" He pointed out, impressed. "I don't think I've ever met a woman like you...most I've met would have placed some impossible cliche of an answer that proved they weren't worth the time of day....but you, you're timeless...." He said, leaning in a bit closer, unconsciously, as if trying to read her eyes.

"Am I?" She blushed and tried to hide her cheek with her hand. "It was all true... I just want to be happy... but, thank you, for saying that." Lorelee fiddled with her hands a bit, wondering what Richard's dreams used to be, and why he would abandon them so swiftly. Her heart ached for him, to think he lost someone he loved so much. I should see him more often. We can help eachother heal. "You can call me Lorey, if you want." It was what her mom used to call her.

Richard beamed. "Lorey? I love it." He nodded, happy that they were connecting so much. "I've always just gone by Richard since nicknames were not easy to come by in my family..." He joked, rubbing the back of his neck. Enty thumped his head, noticing his friend's nervous habit was flaring up again. "Call me whatever you like." He offered, taking her hand into his and tilting his head slightly.

Somehow, she didn't think anything else suited him. He was Richard, and always would be, although at the moment she had a few names like 'headstrong' and 'silly' running around. Lorey kept looking from his eyes to his bruises and swelling, in awe on how he kept smiling despite it all. She did that, too, though her wounds couldn't be seen with eyes.
"I think Richard is just fine," she finally said, squeezing his hand.
